Hydro Thunder Hurricane Dated

The indie developer’s motto is “Big games in small packages,” and their first game as a studio should deliver on that promise. The downloadable game features 8 all new race tracks, new Single Player game modes, Xbox LIVE Leaderboard challenges, as well as robust multiplayer support for 8 players online, local split screen races with up to 4 players - and a combination of split screen and online play.

I LOVED the first game on Dreamcast.. and in the arcades!

Neco5125047d ago

Yeah, I remember the first one, never played it on DC but I played the hell out of it in Boomers Arcade

TheXgamerLive5047d ago

On the Sega Dreamcast, ahh the day's:)

I raced the hell out of this every day, can't wait to rock the arcade version and race it.

I always loved hearing....HYDRO THUNDER !!!!!

callahan095047d ago

Sweet! Can't wait for this game! I loved the original. July 28, damn you...

I WILL somehow get this game, but I really wish I had taken advance of GameStop's trade-in your old 360 towards the new one deal when they were doing that. My 20gb hard drive is completely filled with XBLA games, except for about 50 MB which I am keeping reserved for sale files for any games I might potentially play. I don't want to delete any of my XBLA games to make room, though. I desperately need a bigger HDD. Plus, my 360 is really old and makes a shit-kicking racket whenever it's on. I'd love to have one of the new ones because of the HDD space, the quietness, the wi-fi, and the decreased power consumption.

Crap. Really kicking myself about not taking advance of that trade-in offer when I had the chance. Now I feel like there's no good way to get a decent value trading up.

Either way, I'm GOING TO find a way to fit Hydro Thunder on my hard drive on July 28.

I never played the original. I take it it was good? I like racing games, never played a boat racing game

callahan095047d ago

Oh, it was great. I mean I haven't played it since around 2000 or 2001, but I loved it to death back in the day. I'm glad they're doing a new one instead of releasing the original. This way they can make sure it stands up to today's quality standards. A lot of great games from 10 years ago or so didn't age that well. They're still conceptually great but by today's standards often have unbearable camera, control, and graphical niggles. So yeah I'm excited for a brand new one!

DaRockSays5047d ago

Rockets coming out of hidden compartments and what not, sounds intense

Neco5125047d ago

Dude, IDK about the consoles, but the arcade was amazing!

killyourfm5047d ago

Jesus, this is gonna be an awesome Summer of Arcade!

The first VP was pretty fun, never played party animals. Hydro thunder is one of my favorites on the DC and this update was on GwG before but still a fun game for anyone who missed it. Never heard of the other two.

Queue the onslaught of "why do they even bother" comments. While i don't totally disagree that Gold games have been awful, every once in a while one pops on their that I try and end up liking. I mean if you have to pay, why complain about games they give you.

CrimsonWing69732d ago

I don’t know why they bother, but on the flip side PS+ is following the same path now that they have Spartacus.

RosweeSon732d ago

Yeah fifa 22 is just the same as 10/12 year old Xbox 360 games 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤣 do people even think about what they are saying let alone actually typing out and pressing add 🥴🤣

CrimsonWing69732d ago

@RoweeSon

You’re absolutely right! I don’t know what came over me. I’ll be sure to think before I speak from now on. I appreciate your help with showing me how wrong I am.

vallencer732d ago

@rosweeson

I mean honestly speaking fifa 22 is basically the same as a 10/12 year old 360 game since fifa is basically the same every year.

I think Microsoft is trying to make PsPlus look good with these horrible GWG line up.

Christopher733d ago

They're just trying to get people to move over to GPU for better options. Otherwise, whoever is subscribed just doesn't care about the games and just online stuff.

Lightning77733d ago

Basically.

I've said this latest month but GWG is strictly for the casuals who have gold only. Just like you said if you want better options then get Gamepass. GWG is no longer for the hardcore audience anymore.

Deathdeliverer733d ago

The ONLY thing bad about gamepass is how Microsoft completely started taking dumps on games with gold ever since. In my opinion (OPINION) PlayStation plus gave better offerings most of the time but there were times where games with gold would win a few FOR ME. Now it’s a landslide. They should put the same effort into games with gold as they do gamespass. Just take the games off, reduce the price, and call it Xbox Live again.
